Magnolia tree melody Orange blossom winds Mellow winds on guitar strings Throaty trumpet kick ass blues Reeds vibrating the brass alive Thunder rolling the swing into you The moody language of the Quarter Is alive well and moving you Paintings capture artists gold In history of streets of balconies Gardens of love overhang In heavenly view The brush captures Father time In color so real the music joins In the jazz that will fulfill time Street people with rainbow hair Children kicking up their heels Statues so still they move away To get a beer to beat a sweat Strippers strut with their best stuff For Bible belt angels Everyone smiles from their pain In the music of living New Orleans Artist of all kinds express talent In others disbelieves For the music of soul has gotten blue So let the bands parade the streets To revive the ghosts of captured souls And Mardi Gras will live till Until all music dies And no ghosts can carry it on Email me me at [email protected] D.Lester Young (05/02/02) Tuscaloosa, AL Copyright © D.Lester Young (White Eagle poetry) http://www.authorsden.com/visit/author.asp?AuthorID=5012 |

It's true...when I am not haunting the Quarter? The Quarter is haunting ME...pssst...I just went shopping at the French Market last week. It was good to be HOME. You captured her beautifully! |
